Band: The Who
Song: Boris the Spider

I don't know the timing, and there's lots of sections to put
 
Here's the correct version of Boris the Spider, as far as I
can make out, anyway...
The chorus bits by Fred (freddy@soonet.ca) were correct, but
the verse bits were slightly wrong.

nearly perfect try this chorus Chorus G----------------------------- D----------------------------- A-5-4-3-2-1------------------- E-----------1-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-

I agree with bbman (I think it's an F to a G, not an E to a G). Also, you don't ever need to go up to the 8th fret. Remember that the 8th fret on any string is the same as the 3rd fret on the string below it (hightwise, not pitchwise)--so you can really play the whole song on the first five frets, meaning you don't have to move around as much, meaning it's much easier.

To me, it sounds as though the 'Creepy Crawly bit' goes: G------------------------ D------------------------ A------------------------ E--2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-etc..
